K-Mart made a gigantic slip-up the other week by selling Fable II before the embargo date.

Around 200 copies of the game were sold before the error was spotted and K-Mart removed the game from their shelves.

Microsoft fined K-Mart $10,000 for the aggravation caused. Now that's not a whole lot, especially to a large retailer like K-Mart.

Unfortunately, K-Mart won't be able to sell Gears of War 2. Not straight away, anyway - Microsoft are preventing the retailer from selling any copies until the 21st of November. And given that K-Mart are part of the Coles Myer Group, other stores like Target and Myer might miss out as well.

GoW 2 is set to come out on the 7th of November.

hahaha sucked in bout gow2, i thought the $10000 fine was a bit low.

Yeah, dang. Just to sell copies of a game that Microsoft, is going to make from anyway?

Oh, and Dippa, before you start another thread, make sure the other threads have taken off.

And why is that a necessity?

wow i thought this was just a false rumour

also fable2 is pretty meh.. it's as much of a dissapointment as the first one was... maybe i just dont have time for immersive RPGs anymore

i prefer a bit of quick and dirty action.... like dead space

i loved the first one. so now i just have to wait for the PC version to be released.
